I’m having this really weird problem at the moment with my emacs config resulting in buffers not redrawing. It isn’t immediate, as in I can be working for a while and everything is fine, but then eventually it will cease to redraw buffers when they update. I can get them to redraw with I do something, such as type or click my mouse, but they won’t update until that point. I first thought it was only non-file buffers, however I have found that even buffers tied to files are not redrawing. When it does happen the only way to solve the prolbem is to close emacs and start again.

I have a suspicion that it might be tied to memory use, because it seems that running long-winded terminal commands (such as yarn install) make the problem happen more quickly. Perhaps my GC isn’t kicking in, but I don’t thing that’s the case because I’d be seeing more issues than just redrawing. I have not had this problem in the past when I used Doom, but now that I’m using my own config it is pretty much guaranteed to occur at some point. I might consider moving back to Doom, but I really like my config (well, besides this problem), emacs feels much snappier and more responsive without Doom. Maybe when Doom gets the 3.0 update I will think about moving back.
